Not as entertaining as K. Harris & maybe not as stupid, K Hughes is back!

[splat@14]

I wonder how much she makes to the nothing that she does. Why would she even carry a briefcase to the office....why have an office? And just what the hell is an "undersecretary of state for public deplomacy and public affairs" suppose to be doing?
Splat!


<snip> upon the fifth anniversary of 9/11, Hurricane Karen, as she is known in Bush circles (or at least was until Katrina brought the President’s poll numbers down), has chosen to let her views about the state of the world be better known, in a September 12 article in the national daily USA Today.






<Snip>..Hughes blames the inadequate global response to terrorism not one iota on the missteps of the Bush administration, but on the “lack of outrage” of ordinary citizens throughout the world.

<snip>...Second, Hughes unjustifiably attacks religious leaders worldwide for tolerating terrorism. Their criticism of violence, she declares, “seems oddly muted.”

<snip>....Hughes’s proposal on how to fight terrorists is vague and ill-defined. “Our challenge,” she says, “is to launch a new grassroots movement across all faiths and continents, a movement that clearly states that no grievance, no complaint, no matter how legitimate, can ever justify the targeting and killing of innocent civilians.

1. and we care what she thinks WHY (I mean, apart from the fact that we pay

her outrageous salary)

2. Hey, W got her a plush job and she's ripped off the taxpayers

big time. She ain't no Ann Richards.

3. Hughes had quite a bout trying to convince the wifes of wealthy

ME aristocrats that they were oppressed & needed to obtain the rights of western women. Needless to say she was met with a rather chilly
reception.

7. That's right. The Turkish women scorned her

for her saying the Western way was the better way.

4. For once we agree ...

“Our challenge is to launch a new grassroots movement across all faiths and continents, a movement that clearly states that no grievance, no complaint, no matter how legitimate, can ever justify the targeting and killing of innocent civilians."

Now go tell that to your boss re the targeting and killing of innocent civilians in Iraq, bitch!

[Erika]

9. W has made our troops an unwilling party to genocide

of sectarian Iraqis. Just like Saddam.

[WCGreen]

5. Oddly muted ...

Like Falwell and Robertson decrying the murder of Women's Health doctors....

Or the bombing of clinics...

Yea, they were all up on that....

[wisteria]

6. Blah, she always shows up before an important event to make sure

she bullshits about the President's wonderful leadership. She is more PR. No substance, just fluff. She is presented as being every-woman, but it must just be every Republican woman, because I dislike her almost as much as Bush.

[Erika]

11. And everyone sees that

She's scorned everywhere because of her arrogance and naivety.

8. I KNEW somebody gave bush the Geneva Convention Coloring Book

Figured it was Karen got him aware he is in a shit-load of trouble if Congress doesn't absolve him of all those crimes Alberto assured him was legal if the pResident said it was legal.

10. Really like your avatar! She was a real patriot...

[havocmom]

12. Could never see her and not feel hopeful, happy, empowered

A Grand Dame for sure. The world is poorer for her absence.
